Shirly Isom, 74, and Troy Isom, 89, were victims of blunt force trauma and died after being transported to a hospital Friday afternoon, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Dave Coleman said at the time.

A K-9 unit was brought to the scene and helped search the large property, where investigators spent Friday evening collecting evidence.

Authorities initially released a description of the man they were searching in connection to the incident, but later retracted their statement.

Neighbor Lorrie Guzzy said she and another neighbor saw a man in the area that day that appeared to be “suspicious” and “homeless.”

Robert Mason, who lives nearby, said the man "looked kind of scruffy."

"He had this huge — it wasn't like a backpack — a bag of something," said Mason, who described the man as approximately 5 feet 8 inches, wearing a hoodie and looking down as he walked toward the Isom's home.
